Well, I think that the announcement of iSync 1.1 with USB-sync is awesome news, because it reaches a much larger number of phone users than the perviously BT-only sync. Now it's not just SE users that are happy. Nokia, Motorola and Siemens users are now welcome as well.

Even though I wanted to wait for the T610, I think I'm going to pick up a Motorola T720. USB-sync is just fine for me, especially since none of my current systems have built-in Bluetooth. I prefer the flip-phone form-factor and I can get a T720 now. Since I'll be going with T-Mobile's GSM service, I'll be able to upgrade to any of the fancy new Sony ERicsson phones when they become available and affordable.

I have an extremely minor question/request. Does anyone have a little Palm Zire icon at an acceptable size for iSync? I was under the apparently false impression that iSync had a Zire icon among many others. Mine is still showing up as a Tungsten (er, I think, maybe a Palm 5?) in the iSync window. I told you it was extremely minor.

[edit: I found out what happened to that image from folks in the Ars forum. I didn't go to the iSync page before they replaced the picture.]
